Mike Libecki defines himself in two ways: an explorer obsessed with climbing the world's most remote and untouched mountains, knocking off several first ascents every year, and a dedicated father of an equally adventurous daughter who wants to save the world. National Geographic Adventurer of the Year, Dell Ambassador, and Adidas Athlete, Mike has completed more than 85 major global expeditions with the personal goal of 100. He has summited from Afghanistan to Antarctica, Greenland to Guyana, Siberia to Socotra Island to Yemen and everywhere in between, paddling with polar bears and climbing the highest peak of Antarctica on his “joyineering” expeditions.

Mike produces, directs, and films his expeditions using the latest technologies to bring his stories to life using next-level VR headsets and technology that transport audiences to the far-flung corners of the globe. He has trekked with his daughter Lilliana to all 7 continents, including Mt. Kilimanjaro in Africa, the peaks of Nepal and Peru, polar bear territory in the high Arctic, and the bottom of the Earth, where they skied alongside penguins.  This exposure to our broad world has kindled in Lilli a keen focus and commitment to humanitarian and conservation work.

According to Mike: "The time is now. Why ration passion? Dream big and climb those dreams."
